Hi everyone! If you haven't had the chance to put your hands on Steel Masters #117, here is a little glimpse at what you missed! But don't worry, Steel Masters is now available on digital version and the issue #117 is free to download! You can find it here: Itunes.

How could I be so late in buying this? Emilien Pépin's Merkava is on the cover of this issue! He offered us a nice build, now it's time for paint! The steps are well explained from the painting process to the weathering. This Merkava has a totally operational look et Emilien forgot not a thing! I like the smooth effects he created on this exceptional model. Meng are doing a great job!

Let's be original again with a Pz.Kpfw III (3.7cm) (T) ausf. F! Jérôme Fournioux's is an oddity that really deserves to be seen, for there are so many details! This kind of amphibious vehicle is a wonder and Jérôme made a high quality work on it!

The quarter scale is well represented with Sven Frish's Panzerjäger. Wonderful camouflage for a vehicle that I'm absolutely fond of, as well as Luciano Rodriguez's Ferdinand in 1:72! Hold tight! The camouflage is breath-taking!

The magazine ends on Almeria and Ransart and I'm very happy to read that my friend +Thierry Tish appears for his work! Bravo Thierry! I've really liked meeting you at Ransart and I'm very proud to see you in the magazine! That proves the recognizable quality of your work!

Steel Masters shows really nice things, once more! Its historical and technical articles are complete et allow, like always, to understand the path chosen by modellers who are also story-tellers. I like this format, the interest given to the reader. ONce thing bugs me, though : the printing quality. On some pages, the writings are doubled making the pictures blurry. But the pleasure to read a magazine that gets better with time is going on!
